CueCart 1.2.9 makes CueCart faster, clearer and steadier: quicker media re-analysis, better-balanced processing presets, safer multi-instance handling, and easier diagnostics when support is needed.
What's new
Much faster library re-analysis — the Database tab now has a Re-analyze media files action for refreshing stored loudness, trim, waveform and analysis data without touching your audio files. The work now runs through a bounded worker pool, so large libraries finish far sooner while CueCart keeps the UI responsive.
Processing presets are louder and clearer — Clean, DJ, Party, Radio and Office now use an explicit Cue Pad input-gain ladder instead of quiet inherited targets. The presets are easier to hear against Off, with the deck and preview lanes kept isolated from the preset gain.
Fatal diagnostics export — Tools now includes an Export Diagnostics action that creates a user-sendable support ZIP with recent redacted logs, crash evidence and install metadata. It avoids raw media, cache data and database files.
Polish
Re-analysis closes Settings when it starts — choosing Re-analyze media files gets you back to the main window immediately, so the long-running work feels like an app action instead of a modal task.
Playback-Only prompts are clearer — a Playback-Only instance no longer offers to save changes it is not allowed to write. Save As now takes ownership of the newly written Set so you can keep editing after making a copy.
Installer dependency included — the installer now includes the required Microsoft Visual C++ runtime and installs or repairs it when needed, helping older or customised Windows setups that do not already have the runtime CueCart needs.
Reliability
Safer multi-instance audio-device handling — CueCart no longer churns background audio device scans across instances. Device lists are refreshed when the Settings dropdown needs them, reducing one source of intermittent multi-instance crashes.
Bounded re-analysis publishing — decoded results are still published on the message thread, but the feed/drain work is budgeted so faster decoding does not turn into a UI freeze.
Better field support after a crash — CueCart now arms crash-dump registration for its own process and gives support a simple diagnostics package to ask for, instead of relying on screenshots and guesswork.
